since the time of the first test and will not be targetting material that was

July 16, 2018. The course outlines are in the process of
preparation. As soon as I receive them back from the administration, I will post them
on this web site. The textbook for this course is the same as it has been for
previous years, Alterations of Consciousness. You can buy it from an
online bookseller (but please don't buy the copy that is selling for
CDN$2,417.99 on Amazon.ca; trust me, not worth that much money) or from Western's textbook store. The book is also
available as a coursepack from Western's bookstore. Please don't buy both a copy
of the book and the coursepack. Yes, they both say "required" but what that
means is that you need a copy of Alterations of Consciousness and not
the book version and the coursepack version. The coursepack version is just a scanned copy of the book version. To add to the confusion, for
those of you who like e-readers, there is a Kindle version as well. If you get a
copy of the textbook, please read Chapter 1 for the first class. We will get
down to work and cover the material in that chapter in the first class, and
it will have been to your advantage to have read it.

posted them to Owl. Please let me know if there are any discrepancies or other
problems. Eighty students wrote the test with an average of 67% and a highest
grade of 39/40.

January 30, 2018. A question was raised in class about the
effects of canninoids on sleep. The following is a recent review article for
anyone who is interested: Babson, K., Sottile, J., & Morabito, D. (2017).
Cannabis, Cannabinoids, and Sleep: a Review of the Literature. Current
Psychiatry Reports, 19(4):
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11920-017-0775-9

. To read the paper
you will need to log in through the Western library system. Here's the bottom
line: "a breadth of work has demonstrated that sleep problems increase risk for
lapse/relapse to cannabis [15, 16], and disturbed sleep is a hallmark withdrawal
symptom that can last months after a cessation attempt [20]. Research examining
the impact of whole plant cannabis on sleep has yielded mixed findings, with
some work showing that cannabis use is associated with a decrease in sleep onset
latency [5] and wake after sleep onset [6], while other work has not yielded
these effects but instead noted an increase in slow wave sleep [7, 8] and a
decrease in REM [6, 7, 9]. These mixed results are likely due to the
heterogeneous nature of whole plant cannabis." (p. 9) Thanks to Eric (who asked
the question) for finding the reference.

January 2, 2018. Please read Chapter 1 of the textbook
before coming to class on Monday.

December 23, 2017. Your exams have been marked and I have

final exam with an average of 70% and a highest mark of 94%; and from Section
571, 76 students wrote the final exam with an average of 66% and highest mark of
93%. The average final grade for Section 570 was 68% with a highest mark of 93%,
and the average grade for Section 571 was 65% also with a highest mark of 93%.
Have a great Christmas!

than the Kindle version which, today, has a price of $49.77. There is also a
handful of used copies available in the bookstore for $34.65 each. Students can
purchase whichever one they prefer or read one of the copies that is on reserve
in the library.

meantime, some students have asked me about the textbook. The textbook for the
course will be the textbook that I wrote for this course Alterations of
Consciousness (APA Books, 2003). Your cheapest option is to buy the Kindle
version of the book which you can do here:

The textbook store at Western is working on trying to get a cheap paper copy for
students who want something they can hold in their hands. I'll let you know when
that has been sorted out. There should also be two copies of the textbook on
reserve in the King's library.
